I went back to Bear Lake again today to photograph the spring ice breakup with a group from our camera club. The overcast sky opened up just long enough for a few good shots.

It didn't come as a whisper,
it came as thunder.
It exploded in my throat
like glass from within.
I held it back so much
that I learned to smile with broken teeth,
to dress my rage
in Sunday best.
But today,
let it go.
I opened the doors for it,
I released it like a fasting wolf,
like a blade laughing in flight.
And what a relief,
seeing the world tremble to the beat of my fury!
What a delight
to break what was never mine!
My hands trembled,
not with fear,
but with joy:
the cruel music of relief
is the most sincere I've ever played.
Now I understand volcanoes.
They are not born to be silent.
That's my house over there directly behind the base of the wind generator.
Pilot Station, a Yupik Eskimo village about 600 miles from the nearest road, in Western Alaska's Yukon River Delta, where I raised my kids for 15 years, is quite prone to ice jam flooding, in late May or early June, when surging water from the rivers of the interior collides with the still solid ice closer to the coast.
Quite often the water would come right up to my front porch, splashing in whenever a boat went by ... Then we would load all our earthly possessions into our boat and wait hopefully for the ice jam to break. This isn't even a bad one ... After this flood we found two big fat Whitefish wriggling about in our living room mud and had them for dinner. During another flood, the crunching icebergs were level with the edges of our roof .. after that one, we moved up onto the hillside.
Despite all that, breakup time on the Lower Yukon was an exciting, exhilarating time. Unlike the upper river here, where the ice goes out virtually overnight, the ice down there sometimes run bank to bank for as long as two weeks. Watching the ice go by, we would often see the debris from upriver settlements pass by on the piled up floes ... boats, fishwheels, smokehouses, sometimes even hopelessly stranded moose.
The noise of the crunching ice could be heard for many miles around, and areas easily the size of the great lakes would be inundated on the southern, lower side of the river. That would be wonderful, in a way, because after the ice cleared off and before the waters receded we could travel unimpeded by boat for hundreds of kilometers, harvesting fresh geese, ducks, beaver and muskrat.
Once most of the ice had passed, there would be thousands of trees from upriver floating down, and everyone would go out by boat to lasso the massive logs, tying them off to the beach. After the floodwaters receded, we would thus already have our winter's wood supply, or building material for new cabins.
My home, which you see here attempting to return to from whence it came, was built from driftwood logs I gathered that way.
This was scanned from an old print I shot way back in the mid-eighties sometime.

The fiery end to a stormy day.Minutes before this picture,this scene was mostly white.But as soon as the sun broke through,it all changed...and turning up the contrast helped a bit too...
Have a great sliders sunday!
A warm January morning at Sherdian Park in Cudahy, WI. Some of the ice has broken up and washer onto shore. With the warm weather, a lot of thawing was occurring. The path down to the lake was full of ice making it very difficult to navigate. In fact, I slipped and fell while exploring the shoreline for a composition. I ended up hurting my left thigh and ankle pretty good. Nothing was broken but I was limping for 2-3 days afterwards.

Ice floes outside Saltö, swedish west cost. Far away in the distance you can barely spot Svangens lighthouse.

As she reached for his hand, he shifted to his right. Putting distance between their hands. At last, the time had arrived.
"Why should i listen to my heart ?
Because you will never be able to keep it quite.Even if you pretend not to have heard what it tells you, it will always be there inside you, repeating to you what you are thinking about life and about the world.
What happened that evening was the call of my heart and i have no regrets on that call. I followed the call of my heart and you decided what your heart was saying.
I forgive you because I love you and you do not love me.

Ice floats away as the river rises, changing of the seasons.

The sunrise was a real damp squib, but around an hour later, the blanket of cloud started to breakup, and some lovely light came streaming through onto Beda Fell and the Martindale Valley.
now no longer mean anything to me at all! all gone. From trust to the external material. Please, please turn off the life of me go. I don't need you anymore because you was that I should cry more and not focus in education, learning becomes very bad.
It's nice, occasionally, to have some liquid water to absorb some of the Aurora's jade rays ... Courtesy of a week of very warm days, and the swift current of the Takhini River ... This is the first time I've had that since about six months ago.

Captured in mid-March, the frozen ice shards form on the Milwaukee River along the Historic Third Ward. This is the a winter breakup before the spring takes over. The cooped up energy of Milwaukee really appears.

Very early spring in Alaska this year - and after a few more inches of snow on Monday, and a rapid melt - some places have mighty big puddles.
Ice on the surface at Babson Farm Quarry, in Halibut Point State Park. No one but birds touches this surface; sheer rock walls and numerous warning signs assure that. The ice must have been thick, as this was left after quite a few days above freezing.
Revised to brighten and re-posted.
